The 7 annoying Facebook posts that deserve a dislike button

by Nishtha Kanal/Tech2.com Facebook is pretty much the town square of our times. Here’s where you meet long lost friends, hear about who is dating whom, look at the class clown make a fool of himself and even, God forbid.. read a bit of news from time to time. But lets face it. Some people on your timeline can be just plain annoying. And that’s when you desperately wish that Facebook had a ‘dislike’ button, so you could let the world know how you really feel.

The site just released an option to Dislike, but at the moment only as part of a sticker pack for Messenger. So, though you can tell people what you think about their annoying status updates, pictures and opinions, its only via the IM app. But this got us thinking. If Facebook were to release a proper dislike button for every post, what kind of stories would be the most ‘disliked’? We came up with seven: Passive Aggressive Status Messages: Commonly known as “vaguebooking,” passive aggressive status updates are the kinds that make you wish you had a pistol handy. Not to shoot the writer, but to shove the barrel in your own mouth and blow your brains out. “Ugh, some people just need to learn some manners.” Yeah, maybe you should go and give them your two-cents instead of making 650 friends read about it. Disliked. Even more annoying are people who come up and ask “Wht hapnd, dear? Did some1 say somthng?” This gets followed by, “Nothing, I don’t want to talk about it.” We would probably break the Dislike button on this status message. Game notifications: Hi, there! Want to play Farmville, Dogville, Catville, Pikachuville with me? Dislike. Apparently we’re on Facebook only to help you water your virtual farm and feed your virtual pet. No, we don’t want to know how many cases you solved on Criminal Case; we’ve watched enough CID to last us a lifetime. And we don’t wish to send you any lives on Candy Crush either, especially when you refuse to have one outside the game. We will also dislike your many Bitstrip adventures through a day. If the virtual you is out taking on the day, why are you sitting on your desk making comics about it?
